Jerlyn O’Donnell

Today we are honoring Jerlyn O’Donnell a mother, daughter, sister, friend, experience designer, accessibility advocate, speaker, mentor, published author and illustrator, triathlete, and ultramarathon runner.

Jerlyn creates rich, attention-grabbing digital experiences that amplify human purpose by concentrating on inclusivity and accessibility of design. Her passion is bridging the gap between technology and art to communicate with diverse demographics. As an ultramarathoner (she has run up to 50 miles) and triathlete (she has done two half ironman distances), she’s fast, agile, and knows the value of training and discipline. She’s from the nature island of the Caribbean, Dominica, and grew up in St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands. Jerlyn currently lives with her husband and toddler in The Bronx.
